Lana Peters, who was called “little sparrow” by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, died of colon cancer at a care home in the state of Wisconsin last Tuesday. Modern views of her father in the Russian Federation remain mixed. Many people consider him a capable leader, but others think Stalin is one of the most murderous dictators in history.

Nobody can understand what would have led Gary Speed to take his own life in such tragic circumstances. There’s a rumor that Gary Speed’s wife affair is the reason of his death. Gary Speed was someone we admired as a footballer but more importantly as a man who had time for everybody despite his success. At his home in Cheshire, a Newcastle scarf was tied to the main entrance as a respect. There were also shirts and flowers laid outside St James’ Park.

Manchester United disappoint me once again. They couldn’t score in the first half. When Chicharito opened the scoring early in the second half of the match Manchester United vs Newcastle, United were on course to move within two points of City ahead of their rivals’ trip to Liverpool tomorrow. However, the reigning champions were pegged back by Demba Ba’s controversial penalty which left Alex Ferguson’s side four points behind City. On the contrary, today is a lucky day for Andre Villas-Boas and his team. The match Chelsea vs Wolves was highly entertaining. The match Arsenal vs Fulham is happening right now and I think Arsenal are going to win.

Promising Arkansas tight end Garrett Uekman died after being taken to a hospital on Sunday having suffered cardiac arrest, according to University police Lt. Mat Mills.

The former husband of Natalie Wood has admitted he felt guilty he did nothing to save the actress. Last week Robert Wagner, now 81, was named by police as a “person of interest” after Mr Davern’s allegations. Boat captain Dennis Davern told police in a new statement released yesterday: “The only full sentence I could completely decipher during the argument was ‘Get off my f (censored) boat’.” Davern has said he blames Wagner for his wife’s death.

Chelsea will launch a stunning £20million swoop for Newcastle midfield enforcer Cheick Tiote. Chelsea have shown interest in the Ivorian footballer during the previous two transfer windows. The London side tried to sign Tiote in ­January and again showed interest in July. But now the signs are that it could be third time lucky for the Blues with ­Newcastle’s policy of self-suffiency indicating that every player has his price. Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has recently faced criticism because of the club’s current standing in the Premier League – 12 points behind league leaders Manchester City in fourth place. This Sunday’s match Chelsea vs Liverpool at Stamford Bridge is Villas-Boas’ 18th competitive game since taking over just under five months ago.
